CommanderVideo is back in action in Runner 2! Otherwise, there's not too much going on this week - but hey, you can now check out a demo of the new Castlevania game for 3DS. So... there's that. As always, each Thursday we'll be bringing you a list of what's available (retail and original software, DLC, demos and more), complete with prices and descriptions (care of Nintendo's official site). For more information, jump over to your 3DS or Wii U!

"Runner2 is a rhythm-music, auto-running platformer. Players will run through fantastic environments, using brand new moves, to amazing new soundtracks as they run, jump, slide, kick, and soar toward the goal of tracking down the Nefarious Timbletot who has un-fused CommanderVideo's reality. Runner2 features 5 exciting worlds, 125 tantalizing levels and 5 death defying boss battles! Play as 8 different characters and find secret areas to unlock new and zany costumes."
